Best dehumidifier for drying clothes UK — what to look for
The single most important spec is a dedicated laundry mode, which runs the unit at full power for several hours and boosts airflow toward the washing rather than the whole room. Both the Meaco Arete Two 20L and the Pro Breeze 20L OmniDry include this and typically dry a full airer's worth of washing in 4-6 hours.
Dehumidifier vs tumble dryer running cost
A dehumidifier running laundry mode for 6 hours costs roughly 30p-£1 depending on the model, versus £1-£1.50+ for an equivalent tumble dryer cycle on a standard UK electricity tariff — and it doubles as damp control for the rest of the house when you're not drying clothes, which a tumble dryer doesn't.
